We used these in the past but after a while they got a little annoying.

They are good fun however in the right places, and are great for things like FAQ pages and combined with forms to gather leads. You can actually use them to ‘persuade’ people to send you their details. Great for some sites - but not appropriate for others decide for yourself..

One thing to bear in mind is if these things are auto playing - you might alienate the kids of user who might be seaking in a bit of surfing in an open office!

Take a look at the SitePal website and make your own mind up…
